So you're now arguing that the frequency of a word takes precedent? How many of the lesser demons got a name mention dropped in dialogue beyond enemy file? Mannequin is lucky to even been uttered by Arius since everything else gets chalked up being a "demon" even when they have a designated name. Arius didn't call them his "secretary demons" but the enemy files say "secretary". And how does it be a metaphor/insult when there's enemies in this entire series called "shadow" and "marionette" among other names?

The entire argument of the capitalization losses credibility since even DMC3 presents this hypocritically. In the first scene with Vergil and Arkham, demon is both capitalized and then not capitalized two or three sentence later when it should have not been capitalized the first time ("Demon warrior Sparda...." & "A demon impregnates a.....) and I'm sure in the series, there's more than that since typographical errors are not uncommon. Also, the same scene mannequin is expressed is the same scene where "devil" is used in lowercase (Opening to Mission 10 in DMC2). If the instance where devil is capitalized in dialogue not relating to a character wanting to be the "Devil" as in the figure, a title/alias, and/or is not the first word of a sentence exist, you also have another contradictory point.

I've always (hopefully) said these things should be looked at case-by-case. The Arkham statement you made should actually be looked at because he's explicitly said to be a human trying to acquire the power of a demon in the instruction manual for DMC3. And we can take a closer look at a "You/they are a" and determine if they specify a race. We CAN do that and go from there instead of blanket everything as a "metaphor". Because from what you're just saying, Arkham is not just "Human, Demon" as we have on his profile. And it's part of the character's story because he tried killing his wife to become a demon and failed. And only briefly became a "demon" from the Sword of Sparda and that ties into the game's plot.

And to clear it up; I'm not mad about the DMC2 fact with the Protectorate and the Deadly Fortune being canon/non-canon and that perspective. What frustrates me is the fact that I feel the actual reason I attract undoes for certain pages is because simply because one may not like that information being presented. And I come to this conclusion based on the fact that the reasons I'm given are inconsistent and end up being logical fallacies of some degree. Additionally, now even in-game text is not working for you.

I anticipated a argument between secretary and mannequin. I didn't anticipate having to defend mannequin being used because it's not used nearly as much (even when "Arius's secretary demon" or "secretary" was never used and is commonly just said to be a demon) or capitalization when this is a Japanese to English series that is riddled with translation and typographical errors across the board (something I'm experienced with dealing with since I run a anime/manga wiki).
